Thanks to OUP for this shout-out to our forum in @frenchhistory.bsky.social on "Disability History in France: Past, Present, & Future" academic.oup.com/pages/disabi...

I was a grad student at UCD when this happened and I’ll never give them a fucking dime

Working on this forum on French disability history was so fun!

Big news! I just learned that all six titles in the Cambridge Univ Press Elements in Global Urban History series, including mine on Urban Disasters, are free to download until November 5! www.cambridge.org/core/publica... doi.org/10.1017/9781...

Here's a link to my review of Camille Robcis' excellent study of postwar radical psychotherapy. Somehow I missed it when it was first published! The whole book is great, but I especially love the Fanon chapter.

What a nifty little porch guest!

Got Mitski tickets for March, woooohoooo!

Picture of Eddie as a baby cat... he'd discovered a baggie of catnip in the night and this is how we found him.

Happy first day of classes to those who celebrate

This is how my 96-year old Grampy walks his dog, Charlie. Creative mobility aids ftw!

Spectacular old lady cat.

Rereading some of my old writing and I'm pretty sure I used to be smarter.
